Ivana Wong bags two big awards at the 34th Hong Kong Film Awards with "Best Newcomer" and "Best Supporting Actress"

At last night's "Hong Kong Film Awards" ceremony, one of the big winners of the night was surprisingly Ivana Wong, who grabbed two big awards, "Best Newcomer" and "Best Supporting Actress"! Ivana, who was nominated for "Best Newcomer" with three movies, first took home the award as expected with movie "Golden Chickensss", then won "Best Supporting Actress". When she accepted the "Best Newcomer" award, she seemed very prepared. She took out a "cheat sheet" from her chest to deliver her speech, raising "wows" from the audience. During her speech, she occasionally spoke in English to thank her good friends Fiona Sit, Eman Lam and Kary Ng. Lastly, she did not forget to thank her boyfriend, Eric So.

Afterwards, when she won the second award for "Best Supporting Actress", Ivana looked very surprised and hid her face in her hands, showing her agitation. When she accepted the award, she suddenly used Mandarin and said: "Thank you everyone! It is really unbelievable! Aiya! Why did I suddenly speak in Mandarin?" She teared up in the middle: "I never thought such a new actor could get such an important award. Thank you Sandra Ng and director Matt Chow, everyone was very welcoming, gave me a lot of warmth and let me know how fruitful and beautiful the film world is."

After winning "Best Newcomer", Ivana saw Sandra backstage and they hugged and kissed. Ivana said: "I was really nervous when I was on stage, too many people to thank, I wasn't able to thank them all." Asked about her cheat sheet hidden in her chest, she said: "This is my experience from my concerts. My hands are usually very busy, many props (to hold), putting it in the front is very convenient and safe, it won't fall out." After winning her second award, when Ivana was interviewed backstage, it was coincidentally the moment when the "Best Actor" award was being announced. She also expressed her support for Sean Lau for the award. Asked if she was a bit disappointed losing out on the music award, she said: "I did a little bit, but I already won two awards, so I'm more than happy already!" She laughed saying she wants to eat hot pot after the ceremony. As for her boyfriend, because he isn't in Hong Kong, he wasn't able to come support at the ceremony.

Wow Sandra Ng's movie really helped her out...its tough enough to win one award at the HK Film Awards and she won 2! But I must say she is a pretty good actress.....She plays her roles so diffferently and effective. Like a completely different person compared to herself in real life.
